1LI
Association

The 1LI Association Golf Club was set up after a very successfull
second Light Infantry & Rifles Golf Day at the Shrewsbury
Reunion in June 2013 which saw many of those taking part being from
1LI.

It is our hope that by setting the club up that it will help to
bring together the battalion golfers and add a different social
element to the association over time that will also see it take
part in various regimental competitions and golf days such as The
Rifles Golf Day that took place in Winchester where we were invited
to enter a six man team for the second year running.

The association has appointed a Club Captain and Vice Captain for
the first two years, but it is hoped that once established that the
golf members and 1LI Association Committee will in future hold a
vote for both positions on either an annual or bi-annual
basis.

It is currently free to sign up to the golf club and we very much
hope that you will play an active part in growing it regardless off
your golfing ability, if you wish to join please e-mail the club
captain or vice captain on the links at the bottom of the page with
your full name and current handicap if you have one.

Memorial Trophy

This memorial trophy has been set up for our 1LI Golfers to compete
for once a year at a nominated Light Infantry golf
event.

Eligibility

To be eligible
to compete for the above trophy you
must:

Have served in
1LI

Be a Full
Member of the 1LI Association

Be a member of
the 1LI Association Golf Club

We may also introduce a formal entry requirement for future
competitions with acut of date one week prior to the annual Golf
Day in Shrewsbury, but we will update our golf mebers and this web
page when that decision has been made.

At this stage we do not have a stand alone 1LI Golf Day, but every
effort will be made to look into holding one in a centralised
location should there be enough golfers taking part each
year.

The trophy will be presented for the first time at the 2017 Light
Infantry & Rifles Golf Day in Shrewsbury, to the best scoring
1LI Golfer.

The trophy will remain the property of the 1LI Association, but the
winner will get to look after it until the next designated
competition when they must make it available to the 1LI Association
Golf Club Captain or Vice Captain.

An Honours Board will be maintained on this website page and
winners can at their own expense purchase a smaller copy of the
trophy, with their name and the date that it was won engraved on
it, by contacting the club capt.

We very much hope that this memorial trophy will encourage many
more of our 1LI Golfers to dust of their clubs and to "have a
go".
